Summary:                    The vtkContextDevice2D set in a vtkContextView is
never used as a new one is set in the vtkContextActor
Description: 
To try to fix the issue http://www.vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=13199
(http://www.vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=13199) in my application without modify the
code of VTK 5.10, I created a class inheriting from vtkOpenGLContextDevice2D
(OpenGLContextDevice2D) and vtkContextView (ContextView). The class ContextView
set an OpenGLContextDevice2D.

However, the device given to the items (vtkContextItem) is never the
OpenGLContextDevice2D device but another vtkOpenGLContextDevice2D object
(confirmed by using the method GetClassName() during a Paint event and also
using the method SetStringRendererToQt()).

This other device is defined in the class vtkContextActor and set in the method
vtkContextActor::Initialize() and then given to the 2D context.

I think the device defined in the vtkContextView should be removed as it has no
effect on the display and seems superfluous.
